KEY LOOKS RATHER THAN HUGE COLLECTIONS SHOW&ORDERXPREMIUM At the theme areas PREMIUM wants to provide overview, inspiration and emotional appeal. BY HELLE MATHIESEN ST OR SEEK SHOW&ORDERXPREMIUM TRANSLATING LIFESTYLE TRENDS Each season, SEEK, the Voice of Street Culture, pre- sents selected streetwear and urbanwear pieces that translate the current lifestyle trends for the industry. SEEK stands for democracy and fairness, clarity, friendliness and honesty, in keeping with the motto of “what you see is what you get”. The focus is on carefully selected style tribes that embody the mo- dern zeitgeist and guarantee SEEK’s visitors valuable inspiration. After the overwhelming success of the first initia- tive with One Warm Winter in January, SEEK and the Berlin-based NGO are planning to collect sneakers for the homeless this summer in front of the location during the show, but also before and after by collabo- rating partner stores. AT INSPIRED BY DEPARTMENT STORES At SHOW&ORDER X PREMIUM buyers gain inspira- tion and stories not only from the atmosphere, but also from the spacious Experience Floor. The trade fair concept is inspired by the department stores. The Beauty Lounge will be part of the show again: the place to go to enjoy a quick freshen-up during the hustle and bustle of the fashion week. It’s not just the KÜHLHAUS itself that has lots to offer again in July 2019 – the Outside Area, too, will be equipped for hot summer days with a beach lounge, bar and mouth- watering catering. 0 This season focus at PREMIUM continues to be on the restructuring of the halls. The goal is to amalga- mate the theme areas more precisely and make it easier for visitors to gain an overview, as well as to inspire them and appeal to their emotions. The exhibitors will present key looks rather than huge collections. On top of this we see the recurrence of a trusty PREMIUM theme: sustainability. As a result of this, there will be no plastic in the catering areas; a strong focus on rubbish sorting; and specific promo- tion of eco-brands. PREMIUM
